dpd project [VERSION 2!] [Full List of Discs] [FAQ] [Find A Song or Band] [Message Board]      

Welcome to DPD!


The DPD Project is a thematic mix-CD project created by music geeks and best friends Chris Diamond, Chris Prokop, and Michael Darpino.

Each CD in the project has a theme that ties the songs on it together. For every theme we each pick five songs that we feel best represent it. The collected fifteen songs are then mixed together in alternating order based on our last names. The songs that end up on DPD are meant to be the very best songs for their particular theme.

We write liner notes for each song to explain why we picked it for that theme. The project has grown into a sort of musical memoir over the years since music has been and still is such a huge part of our lives.

Random DPD Pick:


Kill Yr Idols
by: Sonic Youth
from: Kill Yr Idols 12"

Picked By: diamond
For: DPD: 037 - My Life in Music (Diamond)

I worked at a Village Inn for a few months, I don't think we have those here in the East, but it's a restaurant like a Denny's, Perkins, or IHOP. It was overall a pretty miserable experience, so much so, I had actually planned the murder of one of my co-workers. My hatred for that guy knew no bounds.
Whenever it was break time I would walk out to my car and just crank music for my allotted half hour. One particularly shitty night, I went out to the car, pressed play and turned it up all the way, hoping to make the world disappear for a while. When this song came on, I had what would have been a religious experience, minus the religion part, I almost felt high. The answer was pretty simple from there, so I turned on the engine, put it in drive and left the parking lot without ceremony. I could have honked the horn a few times and flipped off anybody who bothered to look out the window, but I just drove away. I would have forfeited my final paycheck to see the look on Rodney's face when he realized I wasn't coming back from my break.
